Weekly ‘What games have you been playing’ thread #25

Been watching ESA, nothing of note (except the trainwreck of an Elden Ring blindfolded run), but it’s certainly better than GDQ.

I took a break from Conquest of Elysium 5, but now I'm back on my illusionist bullshit.

Also been playing some STNC Stellaris. !trekkies

Star Trek: New Civilizations is a total conversion mod for Stellaris that turns the universe into an approximately lore accurate Star Trek grand strategy game. If you know the show lore, you can navigate events pretty well for a newbie. The multiplayer is super fun, and they even have mechanics for the Borg, Obsidian Order, Tal Shiar, and Mirror Universe events. There's also crisis events that can threaten your empire, including an extra-dimensional invasion. It's pretty legit.

You can pick up Stellaris and share DLC/Mods and such for like $10 on G2A or on sale.

I used to be part of the STNH dev team/playtesters, but there was a split over some dumb drama about the direction. STNH is fine if you don't mind being corralled into a more slow game, but STNC is much more fun because it rewards good play mechanically while still being lore friendly. Also STNH community is prob 50% more neurodivergent than STNC.
